What I liked
The actors were evenly talented, no weak links, and all were good picks for the parts. The dialogue and action moved quickly, which emphasized the anxiety and urgency of their personal situations.
What I didn't like
Actually, the Mexico chapter wasn’t necessary, the play was satisfying and evenly funny and enjoyable until then, and the length was just right, but because I liked the characters and I liked the chaos in the Mexico scene, I enjoyed that final scene as well.
My overall impression
Lots of laughs watching the interactions among sincere, ambitious but struggling, friends Sebastian and Kate as they pursue their acting and photography careers. Then in pops self-absorbed, “I’ve got the answer” new neighbor Tony, whose motto appears to be “your home is my home” (especially since he knows he can solve their issues by introducing them to an ancient Peruvian self-help therapy known as “The Source”). And perhaps it worked because voila! – a new boyfriend for Kate joins the mix, with a dry wit that adds another flavor to the conversational stew; and lo and behold! – Sebastian lands a gig doing a photoshoot with Charo Vergara (Sofia’s hotter sister), who shines in her campiness. The action suddenly shifts to Mexico, where things go really off the rails, involving masked bandits and other dilemmas. Engaging and authentic characters, and it’s a fun time sharing their adventures.
